Is there (was there?) a meeting scheduled for this month?
There was flurry of posts about such about a month ago,
but I never noticed an conclusive announcement.
Anyway...

The San Diego Perl Mongers present the amazing Damian Conway giving
his entertaining and instructive talk "Everything You Know About
Regexes Is Wrong":
>For most programmers, regular expressions are a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma shrouded in line-noise.
>
>So most sensible programmers either don't use them at all (and are thereby forced to reinvent worse wheels...badly), or else they fall back on an "evolutionary programming" approach: find an existing regex that looks like it might do, then randomly permute its "genome" over and over again until it appears to work.
>
>In this talk we'll go back to basics and discover that regexes mostly aren't what you think they are, mostly don't work the way you were told they did, and mostly shouldn't be created the way everyone tells you to.
>
>More usefully, we'll also talk about what regexes really are, how they actually work, and see how normal programmers can make use of their existing software development skills to construct correct and efficient regexes...without selling their souls or losing their minds.

God I wish San Diego wasn't so far from Ventura!
Any chance this presentation might be recorded?

Damian's a smart guy, but some of his advice is wacky. Neither of those things are "sensible" in my book. I've never had any trouble building arbitrarily complicated regexes. Has he got anything better than "build regexes with string interpolation"? That works, but if you find yourself going that direction, you should probably be using a real parser instead.
